OTC SALE. Casares "IS IN THE MEDIA OF THE COUNTRY?

It was reported in various media that the sale of nonprescription drugs has intensified in recent times, a limit that according to statistics provided by a consultant (IMS Health market research specialist) about 22,000 cases in 421 surveyed pharmacies purchase Argentina 18 cities, 32% of prescription drugs sold without prescription. The most requested drugs that are sold without a prescription, according to the report of the surveyors, are antibiotics, antirheumatic drugs, decongestants, contraceptives and analgesics, among others.

Referred to the issue and in relation to the same survey, the daily La Nación reflects this: "If you assure to those who are behind the counter of a pharmacy that has all the symptoms of a respiratory infection it is very likely to come away with an antibiotic in their hands. No matter if you have the disease that claims to have, nor whether it has the backing doctor (the prescription) that notes that you need an antibiotic. The drugs are to be sold and sold, even without complying with the laws say about it. "

All this, the survey referred to and the reflection of national morning, we have to think if Carlos Casares is the same. If at least 32% of prescription drugs are sold without the required prescription. And pay a little theory that these peoples the pharmacist is a neighbor of the community, well known and knowledgeable in turn, for professional reasons and social, of many people with whom he has come into a relationship kind and friendly.

Needless to say, a drug that has not been prescribed, and that the work of self-medication is misused, can cause serious inconvenience to the wearer. It is common, very common for people to "pass" the data of one or another effective medication for this or that disease, advising recklessly, but if the pharmacy demanding the use of the respective counter, they would be worth nothing this advice if you go through a doctor's office. Of course, if we follow the thinking of our colleague The Nation, the majority of patients who go to the pharmacy without a prescription, go to the requested drug.

makes no sense to generalize, Casares hope that things are different. That 32% of OTC sales is lower here, but on the other hand experience tells us that the statistics of that type, with slight variations, have global reach.

Anyway, the reason for this is to raise awareness for those suffering from any ailment, that passage through the doctor is essential. Not all are equal, that some organisms tolerate certain drugs and others do not, there are contraindications, etc. But awareness pharmaceutical professionals to be required in all cases except those drugs that do not require, the appropriate prescription. They are also responsible for the damage that an ill-supplied medicine can cause a person.
